Re: My '63 C10 "I'd rather be driving" Project

So, when I got my BBW panel back from media blast I was kinda disappointed that there so many pinholes due to rust. The truck I cut the panel came off had a leaky roof, so the inside of the panel had a lot of rust, while the outside looked pretty good. It's that primo Canadian sheet metal, lol.

I'm definitely not a body man. The last sheet metal work I did was 8 years ago, and that was welding extensions on the tank on my Softail. In fact, the last time I did body work on a car was probably twenty years ago, and I oxy-acetylene brazed all the patches in. Since then I've played around with welders, and I'm happy that we have a couple Mig welders in our shop, 110 and 220 volt, and I have my own Tig welder. What a difference! I actually enjoyed welding up all those holes using the little Mig.

I used a little piece of aluminum as a backer for filling the holes. The radius on the edge of the aluminum piece fit perfectly into the bend in the sheet metal.
